Thread: How to call table?

Hello!

I would like to call the table "TablePrintDemo"(se below) from another class and method.
I also would like to pass a matris with values to be printed in the table.

What method should I call in the class TablePrintDemo ?

TablePrintDemo is downloaded from:

Using Swing Components: Examples (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI with Swing > Using Swing Components)

Hope I can get some help with this
